hmm ok so I took a peek at the test db aswell and found (I think) the weapon stats for the new boss mobs.
Well ouch! Ok so they are said to be really tough
ok let's take an example Ian Warr seems to be the new champ
1149-1457 (852) at 0.8/0.8
let's compare it to Mt T King
820 -1208 (585)
I'm not exactly sure how those numbers translate into real game performance but I know that a yellowish T King hits me for 830 capped min dam, without any reflect that is.
Actually this is really old news; armorrating has FAR to lil impact on the damage you receive. Now with all that nifty armor they plan to add to the game: They upped AR on some of the new stuff but most of it also has a level req so what's the deal? Apart from slightly higher mods say tl6 armor has no substancial advantagesover tl5.
So pls lower the MIN DAM mobs do, that'd fix armor buffs too
